While the city slept, Neo Geshel (gotcha@geshel.org) feverishly typed...

> Just looking for a 10,000 foot overview of this web site:

> http://continentalkit.com/

In Firefox, with images and style turned off, your level-1 heading reads as
follows: "Continental EnterprisesContinental Enterprises - Complete,
detailed and authentic continental kits for most American-built vehicles
from 1949 through present." due to the various titles and alts in there.
Consider something along the lines of...

<h1><img src="whatever.png" alt="Continental Enterprises"></h1>

.... which will serve the image if the user-agent will accept it, or display
the phrase which is in the image (and Firefox at least will display that as
a level-1 heading).

From an aesthetic point of view, I don't really like the banner image. It's
a bit gloomy and hard to read. The slideshow is very distracting. This makes
the text hard to read, as my eye keeps moving every time the image changes.

Not too sure about making it all into one page either. Consider an intro
page, a photo gallery page (so they can show all those nice pics) and a
contact page if they don't want anything too big.

I agree with other posters that the "science bit" (the technical info at the
bottom) is probably too much. Consider a "designed for accessibility" style
comment with a link to a page describing how you approached the design and
development to produce an accessible site (and why that is important).

Hope that helps,
Nige
